FireFox 5: How Do you get NEW windows to AUTOMATICALLY maximize?

When you select the option "New Window" (Ctrl + N OR 'Open A New Window' Icon), how do you get your NEW window to AUTOMATICALLY open MAXIMIZED [in FireFox 5]? Is there a "special" option under Tools > Options > "Whatever?", is there a special hotkey to use, or is it NOT currently possible in the recent version???

You can right click one tab and choose "Close Other Tabs" to close most of them.
Set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing the browser and make a close button appear if only one tab is open.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

    How do you get the Windows side on a Mac?

    There is no Windows side on a Mac unless you install a version of Windows in a virtual machine or use Boot Camp to partition the drive and install Win 7 (if you are using a Macbook Pro that came with OS X Lion installed).
    If you use a virtual machine you can install just about any version of Windows that you have a retail disc of and a legal license key to go with it.

  • How do you get ITunes to STOP automatically scanning my hard drives?

    How do you get ITunes to STOP automatically scanning my hard drives for files? I have a number of audio and video files located all over my computer. However, my music folder is located in one place. I only want ITunes to look there to ad music to my IPod? I don't want to add any videos to my IPod however, it automatically scans for this as well. Infact... I don't want ITunes to automatically scan for anything. Why is this doing this?

    You can configure iTunes to sync only a subset of your music. Create a playlist in iTunes of the music you want on the iPod, and change the iPod sync settings. More info is here.

  • How do you get new tabs on firefox to open to your home page?

  • How can I get new windows to open On Top Of the current window, not Behind the current window?

    Regarding the Options checkbox to "When I open a link in a new page, switch to it..." I already have that box checked, but still windows are opening behind my current window.

    Hello MichaelDMiller60, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • How can I get New Window back to the top as first choice? v4.0 has swapped it with New Tab.I'm using v4.0 on a Mac.

    I'm used to clicking on File and having New Window as my first choice. New Tab is now at the top of the list. My brain is slow to make the transition to the new format and I keep choosing New Tab in error. Can I swap them?

    Hi hopefromct,
    As someone who uses predictive typing constantly when I use my iPhone I can understand not having it available would be upsetting. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
    You can activate predictive typing by going to Settings > Keyboard > Predictive and turn it on. See this help article for reference - 
    Enter text - iPhone
    If you have just hidden the predictive text suggestions by moving the suggestions bar down you will see just the gray top of that bar. You can drag it up again to regain the view.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L

  • How can I get new tabs to automatically open when I click on a new site (rather than replace the existing page I am using)?

    For some reason when i click on to a new site or link, tabs no longer automatically open so if i forget to manually click on the little plus sign at the end of the tab strip, my new destination replaces where i currently was. This was not the case in the past and I cannot find where to reset this so that a new tab will once again auto create. !
    I tried options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead, but this did not fix the issue. Can anyone tell me what i need to do get firefox to create auto creat a new tab when i move to a new link rather than replace the one currently in use? Thank you!

    You can middle click a link to open that link in a new tab.

  • How do you get new voicemails first?

    @How can I bypass the old voicemails and get the new ones first.  I could do that on my office smartphones but my personal one starts with the old messages first.  Verizon techs say that is the way the system is set up.  I do not think that is the case but an attempt to get me to buy the visual voicemail system.

    I can't really answer your question about the stock voicemail, however, I can tell you a free visual voicemail that work well.  I use Google Voice for my voicemail.  It definitely lets you choose the order in which you can listen to your voicemails.  It will also give the transcript of your voicemail message (not always very accurate).  The Verizon VVM does not do that.  I tried the VVM for about 5 minutes before I switched to the Google Voice app.  You simple download the app on your device and follow the instructions for set up.  You do need to choose a phone number and forward your unanswered calls.  If you choose to go with Google you will also have the ability too leave personal messages for your contacts, it will also allow you to screen your call if you give people your Google number instead of your regular cell number.

  • How do you get to window to clean zen v pl

  • How do you get I tunes to automatically skip songs it can't locate?

    I really don't like the latest upgrade.  Getting rid of the coverflow is a bad idea.  It was one of the things I liked about Itunes, so might not bother with Itunes anymore.
    However, in the meantime, when playing all my music before the upgrade it would just skip songs it can't locate, which will happen a lot for me.  Now though, it stops playing and brings up an error message, giving me the choice to locate the file, or cancel.  If I click cancel, then Itunes stops playing.  This is really frustrating.  Is there a setting somewhere, or is it another reason for me to want to leave Itunes?

    Can't really remember if that's possible, as I don't have any desire to do that, but I think you need to put them in a playlist.

  • How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    Question
    How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    '''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
    This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
    This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
    # If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
    # Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
    # Select Tab Groups.
    # Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
    # Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
    #A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
    # Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
    # Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
    # DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
    # Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
    # So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''
